My faith teaches me that God is the creater. If I dont have faith in that then I have nothing. Those who beleive in evolution have faith in evolution. The reason things apear old is because God created it to be. How could an animal survive if the plant it ate didn't already have fruit or leafs. I also think it took seven days just as Genesis says. If I don't believe this , how can I believe anything else the Bible says But the Bible doesn't say that. You interpret the words that way because that interpretation fits perfectly the stories of creation you've been told since early childhood. For example, the Bible explains that children are conceived by a man and woman laying together, and this is perfectly true, but doesn't tell the whole story. Should you, therefore, ignore scientific observation that it's more involved than merely a man and woman laying together? Should you close your mind to all explanations other than the simple one that children are conceived by a man and woman laying together? Of course not. That would be ridiculous. Likewise, more was involved in the creation of living creatures than God flashing them into existence in their present forms. In fact, the Bible doesn't even say He did that. It says he commanded the sea and the land to bring forth all living things. It doesn't state that they were even formed on the day he commanded this, just that the command was issued on a particular day, and that he saw that it was good. Christians believe that God can see all eternity from beginning to end as if it were a tapestry laid out before him. He doesn't experience the slow unfolding of time the same way mere creatures do.

If I don't believe this , how can I believe anything else the Bible says I really don't understand why you'd have to throw out your whole faith just because you don't buy the 7 day creation thing. Like Longranger280 said,the bible is comprised of many books written by many different authors,not by God himself. I don't pretend to understand nearly all the science behind evolution, so the holes I see may or may not exist. By the same token, I don't know how God works either.Evolution as I understand it doesn't quite make sense and doesn't quite add up for me. The 7 day creation as outlined in the Bible also doesn't make sense and doesn't add up for me. Maybe it doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things,but my curiosity keeps me searching.

Speaking of which,where is John?? The big man has been noticeably quiet the last few days. I hope all is well. He's fun to have around!

If I don't believe this , how can I believe anything else the Bible says Sorry old mate....I for one do not find the two mutually exclusive. I do have a problem about trying to interpret or classify God though....I am happy to accept that there is higher control to some degree, and am also happy to allow others to call that control "God", I simply do not feel the need to limit via classification that which I do not fully understand. And nothing pisses me off more that some clown in a dress telling me that he has the sole path to knowledge and righteousness.

If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
